Cisco's research prototype aims to solve the critical scalability hurdle in quantum networking by introducing a Hardware Abstraction Layer that enables autonomous resource allocation and entanglement management. By decoupling network logic from specific vendor hardware, this approach moves the field toward programmable, software-defined quantum infrastructure rather than manually configured point-to-point links. This development is essential for transitioning quantum networks from isolated prototypes to robust, distributed systems capable of supporting complex applications at scale.
Cisco builds software to run quantum networks without manual setup
Cisco’s Quantum Network Controller is a research prototype, exploring software to transform quantum devices into programmable infrastructure.
Cisco is building software to address a fundamental challenge in quantum networking: managing complexity at scale. The company’s Quantum Network Controller is a research prototype designed to deliver Entanglement-as-a-Service (EaaS), allowing applications to request entanglement between quantum processors without direct hardware management, a capability previously not feasible, Cisco says. Current quantum networks, Cisco notes, are “tightly coupled to specific hardware, configured device by device, with workflows coordinated by hand,” a model the company asserts The Controller aims to overcome these limitations through automatic retry mechanisms and a layered architecture, ultimately striving for fully autonomous operation as networks grow. The prototype addresses a critical gap left by the Universal Quantum Switch, introduced earlier this…
